Potential and optimisation of agriculture-based anaerobic digestion for environmental mitigation of agriculture-associated pollution
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-10)
The current work has taken a holistic approach to understanding the potential for mitigation of pollution from agriculture using anaerobic digestion (AD), with a particular focus on reduction of pathogen load to the ...
Spatial analysis of rare earth elements and lead in urban soils of Greater London Authority area and development of a new method for assessment of labile rare earth elements in soils
(NUI Galway, 2019-08-30)
Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of seventeen elements, comprised of the fifteen lanthanides, yttrium (Y) and scandium (Sc), which have been known as ‘industrial vitamins’ due to their important roles in technical ...
Application of electrodialysis for nutrient recovery from Anaerobic digestate
(NUI Galway, 2023-03-30)
Electrodialysis (ED) is an electro-driven membrane-based technology, which can separate
ions from solutions with high efficiency. Recently, ED has been studied to recover nutrients,
i.e., ammonium (NH4
+) and phosphate ...
Patient involvement in measuring and monitoring patient safety in general practice
(NUI Galway, 2022-07-01)
Given their unique viewpoint at the epicentre of the care process, patients can make
a unique contribution to improving our understanding of safety in general practice.
Despite this, patients remain an underutilised ...
Adaptive knowledge extraction and loose semantic coupling in multimedia publish/subscribe overlay networks
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-14)
The primary use of communication networks today has shifted towards content dis-tribution despite being originally designed for conversations between communicatingendpoints. The massive amounts of data ...
The development of a novel, pre-deployment resilience building programme for Irish defence forces personnel
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-27)
Background: Military personnel are, by the nature of their profession, at an increased risk of exposure to potentially traumatic events. Military personnel are also exposed to chronic stress caused by work related factors ...
Human stem cell modeling for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(NUI Galway, 2022-09-28)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs). Most ALS cases are sporadic, with no family history or known genetic ...
Anaerobic digestion of nut and coffee wastes: different pretreatment techniques to enhance methane production
(NUI Galway, 2022-07-25)
Lignocellulosic materials (LMs) are the most abundant residues on the planet and have a great
potential for methane production. Nevertheless, the energy potential of LMs for biofuel
production is limited by their complex ...
Inhibition of metabolic intermediates and enhancement of methane production in dry anaerobic digestion
(NUI Galway, 2022-07-15)
Dry anaerobic digestion (AD) is advantageous over wet AD in treating high-solid organic wastes (e.g., livestock and food wastes). However, it often suffers from low methane production and metabolic intermediates inhibition ...
Assessment of the impact of widespread integration of compressed natural gas filling stations and biomethane injection on the gas network
(NUI Galway, 2023-01-16)
The research in this thesis has explored, investigated and analysed the
integration of biomethane production and injection facilities and compressed
natural gas (CNG) filling stations in to gas distribution networks, ...
